UNEARTHLY TRANCE: Band Announces Reformation; Live Performances
Posted 4/22/15
Like a phoenix undead, Brooklyn based black/doom/sludge trio Unearthly Trance has
returned! After putting the band on ice in 2012, Darren Verni, Ryan
Lipynsky and Jay Newman have decided to resurrect and start playing
together once again. The band is already currently writing new music
for what will be their sixth full-length album and fourth for Relapse
Records.
2015 has shown sparks of life already for the band with the 2xCD release of Ouroboros;
a compilation of hard to find songs, vinyl only releases and a few
unreleased gems from years past. This collection was released on Throne
Records and is available at this location.
In the past Unearthly Trance has
shared the stage with the heaviest bands on the planet including The
Melvins, Sleep, Electric Wizard, High On Fire, Autopsy and Morbid Angel
to name a few. Now Unearthly Trance have announced
their first performances in over three years with a few NYC area shows
booked in May and July with support from Samothrace, Primitive Man and
Churchburn. A series of Northeast dates are also in the works for
August as well as a soon to be announced Fest in California this
November. A complete listing of confirmed dates is available below.
Although Unearthly Trance became
inactive in 2012, the three members were still active and releasing
monolithic death/doom records under the banner of Serpentine Path which
includes Tim Bagshaw (Ramesses, Electric Wizard) and Stephen Flam
(Winter). Serpentine Path will be performing at this year's Maryland
Death Fest 2015 in Baltimore on May 23rd.
Lipynsky and Newman also have a new project called Humanless and
Lipynsky also keeps busy with Black Metal band The Howling WInd and
newer band Force & Fire. Newman has also appeared on the debut
recording from Kaiju Daisenso and Verni also pounds the drums for The
Sheltering Sky.
